Hmmmm...massive anti-Christian backlash for a simple public prayer.

Waiting for that massive anti-Muslim backlash for killing over 3,000 Americans.

Waiting...

Crickets chirping.

Godless sodomite loving socialists are offended by prayer. Who’d have thunk it?

Oh really, so on the same argument, if Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota (a Muslim) led an Islamic Friday prayer service in downtown Minneapolis, it would be OK? Let’s see what the Huffington Post would say about that!

When some future disaster hits our country, these same people will say “How could God let this happen?”

You just have to take it for what it is: A political attack on Perry by a group of Leftists...nothing more. On another subject it will be Another Group of Leftists attacking Perry.

Imagine turning to God and praying at a time like this. Bunch of kooks. They could be doing something productive like promoting sodomite “marriage”. Some people will never learn.

“Rep. Garnet Coleman, D-Houston, called the prayer event “a narrow, theocratic view”

I’ve never heard the Jihadi’s described as such. Curious. The MSM is presenting an undeniable example of the double stanard.

People are getting together and praying in the time of our nation’s need!!! No!!! Ah! Theocrat!! Dictator!!! Homophobe!! Racist! Idiot!! Irrational!! Puritanical!! Separation of church and state!! Religious Establishment!!! All religions are equal, except Christianity!!! /sarc

If these people didn’t believe in the the power of prayer, they would not be protesting. I certainly don’t protest Islamic prayer meetings.

They hate Christians and Jews and love Muslims. Sounds like they want to Establish a Religion to me.

I saw an article somewhere (I’m getting old) that said that the reason Jews vote democratic is that the Republicans are too closely connected with Christianity and that scares them.

Apparently, in Republican circles, Jews feel pressure to convert. In democratic circles, they don’t.

It may be just this simple.

While the objectors to Perry attending this event try to make folks think they’re only concerned for the 20% of Texans who aren’t Christians, the truth is they make it very clear they have zero respect or concern for the 80% who are.

Perry is a Christian and has every right to be a dedicated one.

These people won’t quit until they have destroyed the ability for a Christian to hold public office.

Of course they’ll do it in the name of protecting constitutional rights. These people are pure evil.

I am not a fan of Perry at all, however I’ll defend his right to be a practicing Christian to my dying breath.

Former democrat Rick Perry's problem is his open borders illegal alien pandering, his crony capitalist scandal ridden record, and his liberalism.
His religion is just as irrelevant as that of his socialist identical twin; Mitt Romneycare.

” . .. about 21 percent of the adult U.S. population ... are excluded . . ..”

Who are those excluded ones? Was there published a list of those kinds of people that were to be welcomed, and those to be excluded?
